Smithsonian Institution Letter

According to the Smithsonian Institution ,
"The Book of Mormon is a religious document and not a scientific
guide. The Smithsonian Institution has never used it in archeological
research and any information that you have received to the contrary is
incorrect. The Smithsonian Institution includes a statement about the
scientific inaccuracies of the Book of Mormon in their "Statement
Regarding the Book of Mormon," which is included with the letter.
